History

Historical Context

The Great Backyard Bird Count (GBBC) began in 1998 as a response to declining bird populations. This citizen science initiative allows participants to gather data on bird species, similar to the Christmas Bird Count established in 1900. Both projects aim to raise awareness about environmental changes, linking public engagement with scientific research to monitor biodiversity and combat climate change.
